The 4 Most-Taken Salzkammergut Lakes Tours

1.Full Day Trip to Hallstatt and Salzkammergut

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 972 reviews · 13 hours · from $129Our pick

Review of Vienna’s 13-hour Hallstatt trip, with Alpine scenery, a seasonal lake cruise, guided history, free time, and practical tips.

“Hallstatt is absolutely stunning! The tour guide was knowledgeable and gave enough information but not so much it was boring. Always willing to help and gave some good advice on what to do in Hallstatt. Must do is the skywalk. The funicular costs €22 but is well worth it. You can rent a small boat for €30 for 30 minutes. You then have enough time to walk through the town itself. Transport is a 3 hour coach ride. I'm 6'5 so did struggle for space. But if you are not a larger person, it will be fine. This trip is 100% recommended. It's the highlight of my trip to Austria!”
